Illnesses and injuries often don’t align with your schedule. Whether you’re coming down with a cold or battling a sprain, the Greater Regional Health urgent care clinic is here to help you get care when you need it. Staffed by nurse practitioners, we’re by your side to help you get back to feeling your best. The urgent care walk-in clinic has been open since 2016 and is located at the South Entrance of the Medical Arts Plaza.

Our goal is to provide easy access to quality care during normal business hours, but on nights, weekends and holidays, too. Our walk-in clinic offers convenient urgent care hours, staying open until 8pm on weekdays and open on Saturdays and Sundays.

The urgent care walk-in clinic provides care for acute illnesses and injuries when your regular primary care provider is not available and when immediate, but non-life threatening illness or injuries occur. If you’re wondering whether you should go to urgent care or to the emergency room, it’s important to understand that urgent care does not replace the emergency room for those medical situations that are serious and life threatening.

The urgent care clinic is located in the Greater Regional Health hospital, giving our team of urgent care providers easy access to specialists just around the corner. If we find greater care is needed at the urgent care clinic, our physicians will direct you to the recommended provider or specialist.
